The University of Oregon's Office of Public Safety (OPS) provides more than parking
enforcement services to the University community.
In fact, the mission of the Office of Public Safety is to assist the University community in
realizing the educational, research and public service opportunities at the University of Oregon
by providing a safe, healthful and secure environment. In support of this purpose the Office of
Public Safety provides timely and courteous services in the areas of personal safety, security,
emergency response, information, instruction and training, prevention and investigation of
crimes and violation of University rules, parking administration and enforcement, key lock and
control, hazardous waste disposal, respirator distribution, radiation safety, health sanitation and
occupational health. Additionally, the Office of Public Safety coordinates the University of
Oregon's decentralized safety program including fire equipment programs and disaster
planning, advises the administration on environmental issues and develops appropriate
programs and procedures.
To accomplish this mission OPS and its staff work together with faculty, staff and student
leaders as well as other departments to respond to needs of the campus. Through its five
divisions (Security and Law Enforcement. Safety, Environmental Health, Locks and Keys, and
Parking) the staff works with rule making committees on campus to establish rules and
guidelines that ensure tolerance and respect for diverse viewpoints and coexistence of
competing or conflicting interest and behaviors.
Both OPS and the University administration are here to serve you. We welcome your
suggestions on how to make the University of Oregon a safer and more healthful community.
